Reading this thread I have a few comments- please do not find the statements insulting, as I am a third party observer. 1. In context of Chu, as BA has suggested he may not be the correct speciali...

I agree with BAs management. It is good that you have some baseline pictures. Many people find it useful to conduct at home acne treatments. This forum, as advised by Lim is probably the best place t...

The biggest mistake we see with TCA is that people treat the wrong scars. Heck, if normal dermatologist don't know how to treat scars, how do we expect someone who subjectively is in a bad place, to m...

As BA has mentioned- at home stamping and or microneedling. If using at home roller - 0.5 mm will do. This will keep you motivated and thinking positively before you see Rullan. As for products in the...

Thank you for sharing. The measurement of success has to be quantitively measured - ie. objective photography, but the irony is that the greatest index is subjective improvement. Cannula subcision ha...

@baboonmute thank you for your post. I agree to disagree. Fraxel comes in 3 wavelengths - I assume you are talking about the Re:Pair - namely the big guns of the Fraxel family. This forum has one of t...

Your results and experiences with the two doctors has been invaluable for all. Excellent progress and documentation with all aspects of your journey. Keep fighting the good fight. Wishing you well .

Agree that Rullan is the man to see in this area. Microneedling will help, along with at home devices. Your scars are predominately monomorphic box car scars- some narrow, some medium and some broad. ...

I have been absent for the past few months, but reviewing the pictures - here are my humble comments. 1. Regardless of the operator, the photos show textural changes- shallow scars, and in certain...

Rolling scars, box car scars- mixed narrow and broad, pick n ice pick scars, tethered scars - active acne with pustules and papules plus background oil production or seborrhoea. Possibly type 3 skin ?...

Lim mentions he will be doing IG or YouTube live. I think this is good, because for all the patients with negative or positive results, the medical records can be shown online. This means a two sided ...

The HARDEST thing about punch excision is not the procedure itself, its the aftercare. When the fine sutures are in, it looks great then and immediate after suture removal. You do need to tape the are...

Guess its a good insight in regards to why dermatologist or plastic will not treat you, now we know. I still like BA suggestions, see a few dermatologist or plastics and stick to who think is best. L...

Maybe self limiting, if you can feel a lump- OK, if you can see the lump intervene. Massage, and time. Prof will use dilute A5 or A 10 injections, if mild -break down with saline injections. As habit ...

Marked atrophic on right jawline, plus right cheek. Possible tethering. You do need to see someone experienced as the scars cross the facial aa. , especially close to the jawline. Ideally subcsion fol...

For reference you have you last post dated 9th of March , 4.5 years ago- you we were happy with the improvement (See below). Now in that 4.5 years you have deteriorated significantly. Compared to the ...

You should try Dr Danny Lanzer in Melbourne, he does anything you want. As for Sculptra, Lim does this for atrophic scars in the correct setting. If you have too much tethering the collagen build up w...

I am a tech, I do all the AV for presentations and have a background in science. I have watched Lim present for the past 10 years in almost every conference, for someone who has 3 posts, your accusati...

100% agree with the above. The box car scars can be hard to treat if one does not have experience. DO NOT punch any of these scars out. They can be markedly improved with angled CO2 to the sides and b...

Might also be NQR - not quite right. Only the notes will reveal the truth, so @tryinghard123 its your call. If you are indeed correct, you have exposed a fraudster, but if you are not quite revealing ...

I think @tryinghard123 has a valid point. Every person is entitled to their SUBJECTIVE option regarding their progress, however an OBJECTIVE one is needed. Saying zero percent is certainly a harsh cal...

Agree with BA, 45 min plane trip and a train ride to Hammersmith. Ireland has a great reputation for World Class dermatologist like Dr Tony Egan who trained in Utah and Dr Gillian Murphy who trained i...

Yes, Russians and even Americans have done this OFF LABEL study by Merz. BA is correct, study was funded by Merz who owns both Ultherapy and Radiesse. This was presented in the Czech Republic 2 years ...

Thanks @FredM for helping with the link. BA is superbusy with helping people since the shout out... all help will be greatly appreciated to keep his work load down. I'm doing my best to help, but BA s...

I think the medical world is changing. Dermatology is so visual, in fact 99% visual. Spend 30 minutes describing multilayer cannula subcsion or show a 60 second video. As long as the video is educatio...
